Empirical research on the resource‐based view of the firm: an assessment and suggestions for future research

Abstract

The resource‐based view (RBV) is one of the most widely accepted theories of strategic management. However, to date no systematic assessment of the RBV's level of empirical support has been conducted. In response, a sample of RBV‐grounded empirical articles was analyzed from which it was found that the RBV has received only modest support overall and that this support varies considerably with the independent variable and theoretical approach employed. It is therefore suggested that scholars avoid the tendency to test models reflecting early incarnations of the RBV and instead test those that incorporate its more contemporary theoretical extensions.

Theoretical Foundations of Empirical Research on Interorganizational Systems: Assessing Past Contributions and Guiding Future Directions

“…The value of using dynamic capabilities theory rests upon the observation that the command of resources provides only necessary, but not sufficient, conditions for value creation in interorganizational relationships (Newbert, 2007). It is more important for firms to mobilize resources than to control them because resources create the most value when they are reconfigured in response to competitive conditions (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000;Newbert, 2007).…”

“…It is more important for firms to mobilize resources than to control them because resources create the most value when they are reconfigured in response to competitive conditions (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000;Newbert, 2007). Because critical resources may be embedded in interorganizational processes (Dyer and Singh, 1998), IOS can be considered to be boundary-spanning capabilities that can be dynamically recombined with other resources to generate greater competitive value.…”

“…Future research could explore a variety of IOS features that could be studied over time to show how dynamic capabilities involving IOS are generated. In addition, the interorganizational context can amplify the effects of dynamic capabilities by providing structural and procedural mechanisms such as governance flexibility, interorganizational integration, alignment of innovation and growth strategy, and entrepreneurial orientation (Newbert, 2007). Future IOS research could investigate the impacts of interorganizational contexts on IOS capabilities and, conversely, the capacity of IOS capabilities to shape interorganizational contexts.…”

A gestão do processo de projeto em empresas incorporadoras e construtoras.

“…Mesmo nos países onde a pesquisa sobre o assunto está mais avançada, tais como Noruega, Finlândia e Estados Unidos, Wong, Wong e Nadem (2010) relatam que, em geral, as questões sempre estão relacionadas aos desafios enfrentados na implementação do conceito em uma indústria caracterizada fortemente pela fragmentação, como é o caso da construção.…”

“…De acordo com Owen et al (2010) Owen et al (2010) argumentam que o IDDS utiliza processos colaborativos, habilidades específicas e integração de dados e informações para minimizar a incidência de problemas estruturais e processos ineficientes, garantindo valor agregado às entregas dos projetos de construção desde a fase de projeto, passando pela construção até a operação.…”
